KHARKOV, September 7 (RIA Novosti) - A zoo in Kharkov, Ukraine's second-largest city, has named the country's only pair of skunks after two U.S. presidents, Bush and Clinton, a spokesman for the zoo said Friday.

The skunks, known for their ability to excrete a foul-smelling odor when alarmed, are the last captive pair remaining in a Ukrainian zoo, the spokesman explained, adding that their names were chosen to reflect the species' geographic origin - North America.

The animals were presented to the zoo as a gift two weeks ago, and since then they have not excreted their trademark odor.

Asked about their taste preferences, the spokesman said that ate everything, from fruit and vegetables to fish and meat.

"Most of all, they like juices," he said.
